Left to my own devices, I am a messy person. My wife is very tidy. A clean sanctuary is respite for her.

I don’t know how we ended up staying together after those first few dates, but I do know our twice a month housekeeper is acting as our marriage counselor.

They’ve made their decision, now let’s see them enforce it.

Utilitarian - Row houses and small single family starter homes.

Detached single family housing is suffocating this country and the environment. I’d rather leave the woods to nature and nature walks, not streets and houses.

In addition to that, utopian architecture, like arcologies.

The ancient texts say that you can convert all of them into a large horse sized one.

I’m much more a fan of the PBS/NPR underwriting model. Tell me who deliberately funds the show or video.

When the advertisement is so divorced from the show, is not relevant to the conversation or is not relevant to me, then the andvertisers are wasting their money.

If you show me the same ad over and over again, I am actually more likely to NOT buy that branded product or service because I’ve become so annoyed and numb from the ad taking what little time I have on this planet that I will actively boycott it.

However, I do have a nice space mug from PBS, a plot of land on Mars, the moon and Scotland, and a t-shirt for the Truth podcast to prove that I will spend money when the advertising is relevant to the content I’m consuming. So if you want the ad to work, invest your dollars directly into the content and providers I care about.

But for the love of everything, do not think for a moment that your contribution gives you license to control their messaging or content.

I’m not so sure. The dems will spruce up the place with lovely looking raised beds, herb gardens and other various fanfare, but the disfiguring foundational alterations carved out by these fascists will remain underneath for generations to come.

Took me a sec but I was able to dig up the video on it.

Do they even need the pigs anymore? Last I heard they could grow them with stem cells, a scaffolding and a nutrient bath.

You gotta give a hand to the tenacity of these ICE agents, you can point them out anytime and everywhere.

I’ve heard they’ve even gone digital.

It’s as if there should probably be some short, somber, but eloquent poem about this very thing.

  • Energy demand to power heavy industry that we all use (steel, aluminum, chemicals, fertilizers)
    • I don’t see these going away, so it’d be best to make their processes greener by repurposing the carbon into ag products, then institute a viable carbon tax and offset the rest of their footprint
  • Use of concrete in construction
    • some promising technologies coming that crystallize the carbon and use it to self heal the concrete, carbon tax and offset the rest
  • Shipping
    • bring manufacturing closer to consumers, global environmental manufacturing and shipping standards, improve right to repair laws
  • Transportation
    • upgrade public transportation options where it makes economic sense to do so, make our cities and towns more people friendly instead of car friendly, raise the gas tax to fund these efforts. Reduce the amount of detached single family housing stock and encourage multi-family stock, particularly in cities.
  • Heating and cooling
    • incentivize heat pumps, add taxes to heating fuels and fossil energy plants to fund it. Start a major campaign to educate people to keep temperatures around 68 (winter) to 76 degrees (summer). And encourage use of ceiling fans.

Mostly vendors. Often on-prem versions customized for their sensitive work and the versions are 30+ years now.

They very much go by the mantra “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” If you’re lucky enough to get one of those contracts, you’re on a gravy train, but brace yourself because you can expect to get a lot of complaints about how outdated and crap your system is. That and a whole lot of time dedicated to training and documentation.

You’ll also get the occasional person’s personal monument to themselves. “Joe’s been doing that GIS stuff for 30 years.” Whew those can doozies.
